There are a few things you should know about me by now - I am a green free living chick, I am a socialite and love drinking with my girls especially, and I desperately want to lose weight and get into better shape for more reasons than I can count. But if you look at the this short list, sometimes these things can be difficult to do all at once. With a lack of funds some "green" products can be unattainable; being a socialite/party planner makes it difficult to stop the social eating and drinking; and when trying to lose weight drinking alcohol never helps.

Every once in a while I come across an aha product that fits perfectly into my lifestyle almost as if it were made for me. This is of course how I discovered Slim Rock Drink Mixes by Pure California Beverages™. Created with natural sweeteners and top quality fruit extracts, Slim Rock Drink Mixers have 1/5 the calories other mixers normally have.

I was sent over two flavors to review - Mango Margarita and the Lemon Drop. With 16 flavors to choose from, there is sure to be something for everyone's tastes. They have "created exotic flavor combinations designed to titillate the palette — ranging from our Guavapolitan and Mango Margarita to Cucumber Ginger Citrus and Prickly Pear Passion-Fruit."

I was pretty happy to try the Lemon drop since with the dieting I have been trying to drink more vodka than beer. I have always enjoyed mixing it with lemonade as long as it is a more bitter lemonade since I don't do the foo foo drinks. I thought this was perfectly matched with a vodka and had the right level of sweetness to it.

I wish I could say the same for the Mango Margarita as it was too sweet for me. I like my margaritas made with straight lime juice and very little sour mix. This had a good mango flavor but it just was too much for me although I did get a chance to try it with some of the tequila I bought in Cancun last month!

Cost/Available to purchase: $12.69/bottle average on Amazon
Recommendation: I thought these were delicious and unique from most other mixers. Plus since I know I am a "social ladybug" and more than likely will be drinking when I am out and about or hanging with my friends at least I won't have to feel quite as guilty!
